On September 15 the group found that a PC had received a mail aimed at spreading Emotet and had very likely been infected when its attachment was opened. Mail posing as group employees was sent to people who had exchanged mail with the group. [1]

Emotet reuses names, addresses and parts of past mail to send messages that look like replies. The group said it had engaged an outside specialist to examine the damage and the route of infection. [1]
